Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Iowa State Cyclones Prediction

I’m on Iowa State here. I think the Cyclones are just the far better team in this matchup, and we just saw ASU get drilled by Iowa State less than a week ago. I know that result is fresh on Arizona State’s mind and they’re playing for their tournament lives while Iowa State’s pretty much playing for seeding here, but I think Iowa State still nabs them and gets the win and cover here.
